Problem
Companies rely on employee referrals for higher‑quality hires, but soliciting recommendations requires manual outreach, coordination, and sustained effort from staff, leading to low participation and limited reach beyond immediate contacts.
Solution
Sixley provides an AI‑driven “head‑hunter” that automatically engages employees and their extended networks—up to six degrees of connection—to surface qualified referrals, social shares, and direct applications for any open role. The platform crafts personalized outreach messages, tracks responses, and routes candidate data straight into the organization’s ATS or HRIS without requiring employees to create profiles or upload contacts. By eliminating manual coordination and leveraging a privacy‑first approach, Sixley delivers referral‑level hiring quality at the cost of a standard job advertisement, while supporting internal mobility and diversity hiring initiatives.
Target Audience
The primary customers are corporate talent acquisition teams and HR departments in mid‑size to large enterprises seeking to scale employee‑referral programs while minimizing recruiter workload.
